Globally, gold prices slipped below the key USD 1,800 level on July 14, as the US dollar strengthened, although worries over surging coronavirus cases globally and China-US tensions put a floor under bullion prices, according to a Reuters report.

Spot gold was down 0.3 percent at USD 1,797.45 per ounce by 0232 GMT. US gold futures fell 0.8 percent to USD 1,799.60.

“We are seeing pressure on risk assets given the sentiment and concerns, particularly about China and US relations. But the reversal of dollar weakness is knocking gold around a little at the moment, particularly given that prices are around 9-year highs,” said Michael McCarthy, chief strategist at CMC Markets.
